Haha. But seriously. Your goal is to not even let the ball get to the outlane area. Think about what the balk normally does right before heading to the outlane. Change that part of the game, not what you’re doing at the outlane area.
Also I second that you want the ball to come up and out of that area, not land in the inlane.
Quoted from arcademojo:You mean like the AFMR at league. I swear I sneezed beside it and it tilted.
Tight tilts on Bally Williams games are absolutely brutal.
Quoted from bobwiley:Was/is nudging a designed aspect of play by the creators of EM and SS? I never have as I always viewed it as "cheating" and not nice for the machine or the operator...
This couldn’t be further from the truth. Nudging is a part of pinball. It was the main skill of pinball before flippers were introduced.
The game will tell you when you’ve nudged too much via the tilt. Until then, fair game.
Quoted from Spyderturbo007:Exactly. Now imagine if both outlane posts were either removed or didn't have rubber. Then change the pitch of the game and drop the flipper pitch so they are flatter making the ball harder to cradle. And if that wasn't enough, change the software settings so it's more difficult to get locks. Once you do all that, you'll be close to a PAPA game.
To be fair, they have really backed off on the crazy tight tilts which is much appreciated.
Quoted from Nokoro:Perhaps this is going to be hard to do, but let's take this diagram and assume the different colored arrows are different ball trajectories. How would you nudge to save each one?

I'm assuming you've failed to keep the ball from heading to the lanes, and you have to make a quick nudge. Would you nudge up, to the side, etc.? Does it vary depending on the trajectory?
Nudge up every time and hope for the best. It is MUCH more important to worry about what happened before that caused these trajectories.
Btw. The pink one is most likely wicked shimmy time.
